Title: AIRPORT AND TERMINAL-AREA OPERATIONS OF THE FUTURE, REPORT OF A SPECIAL MEETING, NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, OCTOBER 7-8, 1986, WASHINGTON, D.C. - REPORT OF WORKING GROUP 1

Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Working Group 1 concluded that solutions to existing problems are not found and implemented because of limitations of institutions and organizations. Aviation as a whole is often segregated into specialized realms between which there is little interaction. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is inherently a conservative institution, avoiding risks and fearing failure, so has difficulty in pushing programs to success. Industry organizations are fragmented by diverse interests, are indifferent to common problems, and often compete for self-serving narrow objectives. Deregulation has intensified competition so that immediate financial goals are emphasized to the exclusion of medium and long term needs. The FAA and all the diverse industry groups must talk to each other, understand their mutual problems, agree to common goals, and work together toward their realization. It is suggested that the functions of the existing Industry Task Force on Capacity Improvement and Delay Reduction be expanded. The Industry Task Force and its Working Groups will need the support of an established agency with a continuing budget for secretarial assistance and coordination. The support agency must be independent of the FAA. It is suggested that the Transportation Research Board undertake this function. A number of possible areas were nominated for work, including wake vortex, noise, reduction in runway spacing requirements for IFR parallel runway operations, airport task forces, data collection, pursuit of terminal automation, surface surveillance and guidance, optimum airport configurations, IFR converging runway operations to low minimums, IFR triple runway operations, MLS applications, rotorcraft operations, and new airport studies.
